GLAZING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

Application filed January 5, 1914. Serial No. 810,310.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN RAsMUssEN, a subject of the King of Denmark,but having filed my intention to become a citizen of the United States,and resident of Racine, in the county of Racine and State of Wisconsin,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glazing; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof.

My invention consists in what is herein particularly set forth withreference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims ofthis specification, its object with being partly broken away; Fig. 2,-a'

partly cross-section perspective view of a fragment of a sash rail orstile and a pri marily flat strip of soft-met'al engaging a kerf in thesame; Fig. 3, a similar view showing said strip indented in the stile orrail, and Fig. 4, a partly cross-section per spective view illustratingone of my improved glazing-joints, the section being indicated by line4-1 in Fig. 1.

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 5 indicates the lower rail, and 6a stile of a sash in which a pane 7 of glass is secured by means inaccordance with my invention.

At the intersection of the faces of its rabbet, each rail and stile ofthesash is provided with a longitudinal groove at a rightangle to theplane of the glass with which said sash is glazed, and engaging thegroove is a primarily fiat strip 8 of soft metal parallel to the weatherface of said rabbet beyond which it extends previous to the placing ofsaid glass and the completion ofthe glazing-joint. The soft-metal stripis preferably fastened to the adjacent rail or stile of the sash byindenting the same therein at intervals of its length, as shown at 9.When the glass is placed in the sash, its edges 01)- pose the severalsoft metal strips, and a waterproof core 10 of contractile and'expansilematerial is laid along the outer intersection of each of said strips andglass, after which the then outwardly extending portion of each of theaforesaid strips is crimped inward, by a suitable tool, to form acompression-housing for the adjacent core and to extend parallel to saidglass. The waterproof core under compression has yield and expansioncoincidental to expansion and contraction of the glass, and thus anautomatic compensating weathertight joint results between said glass andeach rail or stile of the sash. Waterproofed cord is one of the variousmaterials suitable for the cores, and putty may be economically employedin the making of said cores. The crimped soft metal strips may be bentoutward to obtain the necessary clearance for removal of broken glass,and recrimped on cores, as aforesaid, laid in against a substitute pane.

I claim:

1. The combination of a sash having each rail and stile thereof providedwith a 1ongitudinal groove at the intersection of the faces of itsrabbet, strips of soft metal extending into the grooves on planesparallel to the weather faces of the sash-rabbets, a pane of glassabutting the metal strips at right-angles thereto against the otherfaces of said rabbets, and cores of contractile and expansile materialopposing said strips and glass at the intersections of the same withincompression housings that result from a crimping of the aforesaid stripsover said cores and against the glass parallel thereto.

2. The combination of a sash having each rail and stile thereof providedwith a longitudinal groove at the intersection of the faces of itsrabbet, strips of soft metal extending into the grooves on planesparallel to the weather faces of the sash-rabbets into which they areindented, a pane of glass abutting the metal strips at right-anglesthereto against the other faces of said rabbets, and cores ofcontractile and expansile have hereunto set my hand at Racine in thematerial opposing said strips and glass at county of Racine and State ofWisconsin in the intersections of the same Within compresthe presence oftwo Witnesses. sion housings that result from a' crimping of V MARTIN'RASMUSSEN. 5 the aforesaid strips over said cores and Witnesses:

against the glass parallel thereto. 7 7 v A. R. JANECKY, In testimonythat I claim theforegoing I v L. A. LAUER.
